Nice place, always seated quickly. Their chili is the best I taste hands down. I get the big bowl and it comes with filet mignon and prime rib inside and its very hearty and they give you a slice of cornbread to go along with it. I never finish it all. I always end up taking it with me since it fills you up
Big restaurant with plenty of seating, an outdoor area, and a nice bar for a variety of dining experiences. Great happy hour specials! I got 2 beers and shrimp taco's for $16 (although there was more salad than shrimp on them).
Comfortable old school bar and grill vibe, with classic burger and salad menu items to accompany a wide range of drinks. Yuengling on tap was nice to wash down a satisfying ahi tuna salad. The veggie burger was seared well with hot salty fries. Friendly service. Looked like a chill bar. Nice spot for lunch or dinner. Inside and outside seating.
For starters we order the Italian load of bread that came with 3 dippings. One was a herb butter mix, hummus and olive oil with herbs mixed in. The best out of the three was the butter. Absolutely delicious. Definitely will ask for more of that next time. I got the chicken Parm sandwich with pesto and it was freaking delicious. I was excited the next day to eat my left overs. My boyfriend got the French fry nachos. It was good, but nothing out of this world. Last our friend ordered the Texas Thanksgiving Special. I didn't get to taste this but he said it was delicious. He finished his plate with no crumbs left behind. I did take a star away from the atmosphere, because it was just to dark inside. Needed to be a little brighter. We aren't in a theater now. I'd like see my surroundings. But yes we would all come back and we already planning our next visit.
Very nice American Restaurant, they have indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of parking. The food is very good, we had shrimp appetizers, cheesesteak egg rolls, and a chicken pot pie which was amazing. We also ordered short ribs, stuffed shrimp with crab meat. Amazing food, and not too busy on a Tuesday, definitely worth eating at this restaurant.
Incredible food, Attentive and pleasant service. Food so good I didn't take all of the pictures.
Their menu has a ton of options and you get a large portion of food for the price. The chicken parm sandwich was awesome and I really liked the dark side of the moon desert to finish the meal. Friendly service, lots of parking, and great food.
Celebrated my birthday in there last week. The servers are accommodating and friendly. The ambiance is nice but it gets a little loud if you are seated on the bar with big tvs. The food is amazing especially their steak tacos. The cakes are delicious too. Highly recommended 👌
Great place with fantastic food. We had the Sloppy Joe and the Fish Tacos. Both were excellent.
We enjoyed our family late lunch at Old Man Rafferty’s! Our servers were attentive and the quality of food was great. We tried a lot of different appetizers to share and everyone was satisfied. They have a solid drink menu with some rotating/seasonal drinks. I appreciate the solid variety of craft beer and have a lot of local NJ breweries. The bar is a great place to watch sports, but wouldn’t say it’s a “rowdy” sports bar crowd at all. If you’re looking for a quieter experience you can sit on the non bar side and it’s very relaxing and quiet.
